Ath. Training/Physical Info/Forms

The UIL has made some exceptions for physicals for the 2020-2021 school year only.

In the past new physicals have been required as 7th/9th/11th grade but there is an exception for 2020-2021.

Every student-athlete / member of marching band must complete a medical history form (this has always been done annually even on years when a physical wasn't required).

If there is a "yes" answer to any part of questions 1-6 then a new physical or written clearance is needed prior to participation.

Only incoming 7th graders and those new to athletics or new to marching band are required to have a new physcial
